“Lunar Orbit Rendezvous”

Review

Following a string of well-received EPs on Cin Cin, Exit Strategy and Get Physical, Belfast’s LOR readies his debut, self-titled album ‘Lunar Orbit Rendezvous’. This will mark the first release on his newly minted label LOREC.
A technique used in Apollo lunar missions, ‘Lunar Orbit Rendezvous’ charts a journey to the moon and back. A bold album, both in concept and sound, it’s the work of an artist coming into his own.The title track and first single ‘Lunar Orbit Rendezvous’ prepares the album for lift off. It’s a track that carries the technical tension of crucial operations, with gnarly acid pulses and happily erratic synths sparring over a steadfast electro beat while vocal samples collapse into themselves. ‘Lunar Orbit Rendezvous’ comes accompanied by a video from Studio Crême (http://www.studiocreme.co.uk/), whose design and video work has been championed by the likes of James Holden, Warp and Simian Mobile Disco. Using a hyper detailed black and white render of a NASA grade rocket, the video brings the optical journey of ‘Lunar Orbit Rendezvous’ to life
The ‘Lunar Orbit Rendezvous’ single is out July 13th with the album following in September.
